14the hangings on one side of the gate were 22½ feet, including their three posts and their three bases. 15It was the same for the other side of the courtyard gate. The hangings were 22½ feet, including their three posts and their three bases. All the hangings around the courtyard were of finely spun linen. 17The bases for the posts were bronze; the hooks and bands of the posts were silver; and the plating for the tops of the posts was silver. All the posts of the courtyard were banded with silver. 18The screen for the gate of the courtyard was made of finely spun linen, expertly embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn. It was 30 feet long, and like the hangings of the courtyard, 7½ feet high.
